The petition (along with the Pirate Software drama) has recently been covered by quite a few very popular content creators like MoistCritikal, Asmongold and Pewdiepie. I think that made a lot of difference, as their videos on the topic have millions of views.
I just hope it’s natural traffic and not a ton of bots. The recent acceleration in signatures has been great to see, but also a bit… suspicious. In any case we should keep collecting as many signatures as possible after the million, as there will undoubtedly be fake/invalid signatures that will be filtered out at the end.
So we should just stop development on technology if it’s too hard? Maybe stop attempting nuclear fusion as well? That has also been going on for decades.
I disagree. A viable quantum computer would be a gigantic technological breakthrough of a kind we haven’t seen in a long time.
And for today’s “not the Onion” headline…
In all seriousness though, I’m having trouble deciding whether Rutte’s behaviour towards Trump is a smart way to keep him under control or just plain pathetic. Maybe it’s both.
I was about 2 decades later, but I bonded over games like Pokemon and later made many friendships in minecraft. Wish I could revisit that time. I think it’s less about any particular era in gaming - it’s about being young. Kids are still forging friendships over video games today - just different ones (although, at least in the case of my nephew, Minecraft is still one of them :D).
Yes, the company is called Wilk Elektronik and their production facility is in Łaziska Górne, Poland, which they’ve also recently expanded to focus on more products aside from RAM modules. Not every single component in their SSDs will come from Europe, but the final production is European.
I don’t think there are any European companies manufacturing HDDs themselves. Some, for example German Intenso, sell HDDs under their name, but the actual manufacturer will be a different one. For SSDs, there’s Swissbit and Goodram.
Nope, as that one wasn’t a Switch exclusive. Released for WiiU on the same day.
I broadly agree, but I’ll add that knockout tour is where the game and its open world design really shines. That should probably be considered the main mode for this game rather than grand prix. I hope that they’ll add a 3-lap “classic grand prix” mode at some point. The world in free roam does feel quite empty unfortunately.
That’s almost every console launch ever though. Switch 1 had an even weaker launch lineup when it comes to exclusives.
That’s objectively incorrect though. It’s an entirely new chip based on a different architecture. Switch 1 games are actually run through a translation layer, which is why a small number of them still don’t work on Switch 2 currently.
I was waiting for those two to fall out. Two egos this big were always going to clash sooner or later. This will be entertaining and hopefully damaging to both of them.
Well spotted. Just clickbait to market their game then.
I don’t think going after some YouTuber with 87 subscribers will be worth your time.
I’d recommend Sonic Generations (or Sonic X Shadow Generations), which is kind of a best-of of previous Sonic games’ levels, tied together with a new story.
Sonic mania is also a great game, reminiscent of the first few 2d Sonic games. But, just like those games, it doesn’t really have much of a story or character interactions.
It’s funny how, according to online commenters, every single thing the west did in support of Ukraine over the last few years would cause a new world war. We should be at WW42 by now!
Last played this in 2018 apparently, time to give it another go!
Ideally yes, but that will never happen as quickly (if at all) when it’s a country that has been considered an ally for decades. Similar to how many European politicians are still going on about the US being an “important ally”, even when it’s Trump’s USA being openly hostile to our way of life and democracy.
The thing is, it would be far from the first time for fans of certain Internet personalities to manipulate petitions or polls on a massive scale. Yes, there has been a lot of genuine new support for the campaign, but I’m not sure I trust that there wasn’t quite a bit of botting as well, especially with how many new signatures there were even during late night and early morning hours. It’s unfortunately also quite trivial for some countries (like Germany) to enter fake signatures. Even without coordinated botting, I’m sure there were for example some Americans who saw how easy it was to enter a random name and did just that.
I’m really happy about the support the campaign received but I think that, realistically, we’re not over the finish line yet and have to keep campaigning for more signatures over the next few weeks.
Edit: Seems Ross agrees
